Jacquie - Avon Bubble bath - How wonderful these blocks will smell! Glad you were able to find some cream that is not a solid. I don't know what it is but a solid always stands out when it is among nonsolids. Thanks. I love the pics of Phoebe. She is growing up so quickly.

Linda - Very happy to see you are with us this month - YEA!!

Debbie - I am thrilled you are also making the 12"ers as well. AWESOME!! Guess I know who would like to win - fingers crossed :) :)

Linda and Jo - LOVE YOUR BLOCKS!!!!! Can't wait to see them up close.

Jo - I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the orangey color choice. Great color choice. The only suggestion I would make is to change your stem to a light brownish color. The lighter green takes away from the awesome orange.
Just a suggestion.

As long as the colors are FABulously fall and you can see a contrast between the leaves, stems and tan colored background then all is great!

To everyone who is wondering what colors should I choose ... See the picture for color examples OR click on this link for suggestions as well.

Well, Teresa, I didn't have a light brown that had a print to it, so I ended up using dark brown. But, when I went out to feed the chickens this afternoon, I found leaves that were all different shades of red and orange with dark brown stems, so I think I am good to go.

Here are my 2 sets of small blocks:

Here are the ones I am keeping. I used leftovers (some how I made too many 1/2 square triangles)

and here are the big ones - one for you and one for me

Now, to come up with a bribe for the block lotto picker god.

Jo

Forgot to say I am taking them to the post office tomorrow morning as I have to go to town. Will post tracking number when I get it.

Jacquie - WONDERFUL FALLish Blocks. I love your color combinations. My floor will start to look like Fall very soon!!!! YEA!!!!!

Depending on how many blocks I get will depend on if I need to split some of the bags apart but for now yes go ahead and keep them in bags of 4. Put the other blocks in bags and mark the outside of the bag as to what is inside so I can make sure I give you the right amount of tickets :) :) :) Think we will win this one ... twinzy :) :) :)

Jo - AWESOME change and I love the orange!!!!! Thanks for being open to the change of stems. I think you will agree it looks FABulous and leaves your eyes to the color of the leaves ... love the pun????

Yes, Teresa, now that I look at the pictures, I like the brown stems better. But, the year end quilt is all over the place so I figured the green stemed leaves would fit right in.

I forgot to put my name on the blocks, but I put my name on the outside of the baggies, so hopefully this will be alright.

Beautiful blocks everyone! :-)

Teresa, I mailed my two sets of blocks yesterday. the post master informed me that due to Sandy's storm, the international mail is slower, that USPS is doing their best to bring it back to normal. Hope it won't take too long to reach you. :-)
